You need to feed your baby about every 2/12 to 4 hours. I he wakes up and is crying, change him and feed him. Most babies sleep most of the time at this age but wake up to eat and be changed. He may even go through a time that he will eat and in an hour want some more. Feed him. There are no "rules". This happens. Don't panic! lol. I'm a grandma of 4 and a mom of 4. You will do just fine.

approximately every 2 - 4 hours. By this time, he may be able to tolerate 3 - 4 oz of formula. Some babies can't tolerate much so they eat a little and often. Other's can tolerate more so they eat more at a feeding causing them to eat less often. He will let you know when he is hungry and how much he can tolerate. Just make sure you birp him after every ounce or two here in the beginning.

My son was 8lbs 11oz and 21 1/2 inches long he is 3 months now but he was eating about 4 oz every 3-4 hours. Now he is eating 6 oz about every 4-5 hours sometime longer sometime not I actually put rice cereal in his bottle to make him get full faster. But I would feed him every 3-4 hours but he will let you know when he is hungry but that is recommended.

I always feed on demand my little boy is 5 months old and still has nearly 6 bottles of milk plus food.
Demand feeding can be hard but eventually the baby settles in to a routine

when he is hungry u feed him. lol Babies have a lot to grow so they have to eat as much as they sleep! most of the time every 2-3 hours. But babies have times where all they want to do it eat all day and about 15 days old is about right, then again about 6 weeks 2 months and so on.....

Approx 4 oz every 1-4 hrs. You should really go based on what your baby wants. Dont be afraid of over feeding them. They will get chubby but its for a reason. If you want more info email me chik620@yahoo.com

My daughter ate about 2 oz. every 1 1/2 hours. But every baby is different. They may have something about feeding on babycenter.com

Whenevery he seems hungry which should be about every 3 hours even during the night. As he gets older he will not need to eat during the night. You need a pediatrician for the baby. He will answer all of your questions and more.
